madPete Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Yes! I think he needs to make watchcoats for each of us! LOL Seriously, outside of dressing for a wake, that wool would make an excellent watch coat. Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stynky Tudor Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Actually I was thinking about reviving one of Cascabel's old characters, the Rev. Testicleese, (suggestively) preach about the sins of the flesh, hellfire, brimstone. He also had a bible that would flash and shoot flame in the air when opened - I never did pay attention to how he actually did that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stynky Tudor Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Speaking of Thrift Shop finds... I thought I would pick this up to use as garment lining, but it turns out to be pretty substantial material - heavy cotton (queen size) bed sheets, that could use them to make slops or a waistcoat or even just use as a light blanket. I think this is a linen/cotton blend or maybe it's just cotton I don't know. But it's a good size table cloth with rounded ends. Not sure what I'll do with it, probably a jacket, waistcoat or maybe a flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madPete Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 That striped material is hard to come by, makes good sacks too Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stynky Tudor Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 SCORE!!! Just rescued this from Lisa's donation pile. Medium to heavy weight, I figure it'll make good slops and waistcoats. The light weight lining is linen too, looks good enough for shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madPete Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 finding linen curtains is a good source. they are getting harder and harder to find. Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stynky Tudor Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Just found a couple of light/medium blue curtain panels, 100% cotton with a few stains. Enough to make a waistcoat or maybe a jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda dried up Since October, I haven't found a whole lot of interest myself. Though I did find these 2 large foam ice chests, 18"x19"x26". The inside voids aren't very big, I think they're for shipping meat or medication maybe. Anyway they were a couple bulks each, I'm thinking I could wrap them in some old canvas and stamp some bale marks on 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madPete Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Well, I did find this about a month ago... Appears to be near new. 2.5 gallons. I need to order a bung and a tap for it Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually got an old 5 gal (oak) cask from John & Grace, but I'm not sure where it has gone since I moved (ten years ago). At the time the boards had already started drying out, shrinking and collapsing in on it's self. Since barrels are a sort of pressure fit, I'd need to soak the boards a bit to reconstitute everything, maybe buy a bag/membrane insert if I actually wanted it to hold liquid.
